Community-Based Treatment and Rehabilitation Resources

Share35
Published: 22 December 2016
This portal is meant to help Local Government Units and other organizations in the establishment of
community-based treatment and rehabilitation network of services in their localities.

On September 19, 2016, the Dangerous Drugs Board passed Board Regulation No. 4, Series of 2016,
entitled “OPLAN SAGIP – Guidelines on Voluntarily Surrender of Drug Users and Dependents and
Monitoring Mechanism of Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Campaigns.” (Click here to view or download the
Board Regulation) Apart from establishing clear guidelines in dealing with drug personalities who
voluntarily submit themselves to authorities, the regulation also mandated Local Government Units
(LGUs) through their Anti-Drug Abuse Councils (ADACs) to facilitate the establishment of community-
based treatment and rehabilitation services and interventions to surrenderers found to be of low-risk or
having mild substance use disorder. Based on statistics, this comprise at least 90% of drug users.

This algorithm is based on the provisions of the Board Regulation that LGUs and other service providers
must follow in handling surrenderers.

Guidance for Community-Based Treatment and Care Services for People Affected by Drug Use and
Dependence in the Philippines

This document is intended to guide health professionals and other key stakeholders like Local
Government Units involved in the response to drug use and dependence in the Philippines. It is hoped
that structural responses to drug dependence will be enhanced upon adaptation of the guidance –
toward a voluntary community-based approach. (Click here to view or download the Guidance
Document)

An app developed as a tool for health workers

Health workers in the communities may now download a mobile application that can serve as their
guide in assessing Persons Who Use Drugs (PWUD) and referring them to appropriate interventions.

The e-mhGAP Intervention Guide is an app developed as a tool for health care workers. It contains
guidance on mental, neurological and substance use disorders in non-specialized health settings as
provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and developed by Universal Projects and Tools
(UniversalDoctor).

rehabilitation programs. LGUs may implement different models depending on the available resources in
